Freedom State

After the apocalypse, a group of mental health patients have inherited the Earth. Armed with a short bus and imagination, they must rebuild society and find the edge of the world. Director Cullen Hoback’s FREEDOM STATE asks whether a spontaneous, out-of-the-ordinary life is truly more insane than a passionless and predictable one. Perfectly complemented by Gregory Ives’s whimsical score, Hoback’s film takes us on an adventure where fantasy is both a refuge from the mundane and a pathway to meaning. A delightfully quirky comedy, FREEDOM STATE is a love letter to the imagination and a love story of the most eccentric sort.
